Description:

Presented on Tuesday, November 19, 2019.

The November session of Grand Rounds, “PFAS and Protecting Your Health,” was viewed in 3 foreign countries and 41 states, the District of Columbia, and the US Virgin Islands

Human exposure to PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is a growing public health concern. PFAS are a large group of human-made chemicals that have been used in industry and consumer products worldwide since the 1950s. These chemicals are in food packaging and many other household products, and have been found in the air, soil, and water.

Studies suggest that exposure to PFAS may adversely affect a woman’s chance of getting pregnant and cholesterol levels and the risk of some forms of cancer. More research is needed to better understand the health effects of PFAS exposure.

This session of Public Health Grand Rounds will address current research needs and the many unknowns about PFAS. Presenters will discuss Michigan’s public health response efforts, a new CDC supported multi-site health study, and a community perspective on PFAS contamination.

Presented by: Rachel Rogers, PhD, Environmental Health Scientist, Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, CDC, "The Science of PFAS: Knowns and Unknowns"; Alan Ducatman, MD, MS, Professor Emeritus, West Virginia University, "Human Health Effects of PFAS – The Intersection of Epidemiology and Community Concerns"] Steve Sliver, Executive Director, Michigan PFAS Action Response Team, Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy ["How Michigan is Taking Action on PFAS"], Andrea Amico, Co-founder, Testing for Pease "PFAS Contamination: Community Perspective."

Facilitated by: John Iskander, MD, MPH, Scientific Director, Public Health Grand Rounds; Phoebe Thorpe, MD, MPH, Deputy Scientific Director, Public Health Grand Rounds; Susan Laird, MSN, RN, Communications Director, Public Health Grand Rounds.
